Identity, Conflict And Politics In Turkey, Iran And Pakistan
Ethnic and religious identity-markers compete with class and gender as principles shaping the organization and classification of everyday life. But how are an individual's identity-based conflicts transformed and redefined? Identity is a specific form of social capital, hence contexts where multiple identities obtain necessarily come with a hierarchy, with differences, and hence with a certain degree of hostility. The contributors to this book examine the rapid transformation of identity hierarchies affecting Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, a symptom of political fractures, social-economic transformation, and new regimes of subjectification. They focus on the state's role in organizing access to resources, with its institutions often being the main target of demands, rather than competing social groups. Such con- texts enable entrepreneurs of collective action to exploit identity differences, which in turn help them to expand the scale of their mobilization and to align local and national conflicts. The authors also examine how identity-based violence may be autonomous in certain contexts, and serve to prime collective action and transform the relations between communities.
Le gouvernement transnational de l'Afghanistan
"La défaite des Taliban dans le sillage des attentats du 11 septembre ouvre deux décennies d'investissement occidental en Afghanistan. Des centaines de milliards, pour l'essentiel consacrés à l'entretien des forces occidentales, des dizaines de milliers de morts, dont plusieurs milliers de la coalition, montrent l'importance de ce conflit pour les Etats-Unis qui en font le symbole de leur hégémonie mondiale. Mais, derrière les discours sur la construction d'une « démocratie de marché », se profile un gouvernement transnational qui contourne les acteurs afghans au point d'interdire tout processus démocratique, couvre des fraudes électorales massives, routinise la captation des re...

When More is Less
The Western-led efforts to establish a new post-Taliban order in Afghanistan are in serious trouble, and in this book Suhrke sets out to explain why. She begins with the dynamic of the intervention and its related peace-building mission. What were the forces shaping this grand international project? What explains the apparent systemic bias towards a deeper and broader international involvement? Many reasons have been cited for its limited achievements and ever-growing difficulties, the most common explanation being that the national, regional, and international contexts were unfavourable. But many policies were misguided while the multinational operation itself was extraordinarily and unnece...

Identités et politique
"Les conflits portés par des revendications identitaires autonomie, indépendance, droits culturels nont cessé daugmenter depuis 1945 et vont parfois jusquà menacer lexistence des États. Loin davoir disparu dans les régimes démocratiques, ils sont particulièrement importants en Turquie, en Iran et au Pakistan et ce, malgré une construction étatique et un rapport aux minorités profondément différents. Dans ces trois pays, lidentité ethnique ou religieuse est un principe quotidien de classement des individus et de hiérarchisation des groupes. Or, si les différences créent de la hiérarchie et de la rivalité, elles ne débouchent pas nécessairement sur des conflits. Comment pa...
Under the Drones
In the West, media coverage of Afghanistan and Pakistan is framed by military and political concerns, resulting in a simplistic picture of ageless barbarity, terrorist safe havens, and peoples in need of either punishment or salvation. Under the Drones looks beyond this limiting view to investigate real people on the ground, and to analyze the political, social, and economic forces that shape their lives. Understanding the complexity of life along the 1,600-mile border between Afghanistan and Pakistan can help America and its European allies realign their priorities in the region to address genuine problems, rather than fabricated ones. This volume explodes Western misunderstandings by revea...
